Same pages, different behaviour depending on G. language

Most of my clinet sites are looking for customers from all over Europe. Idealy, they would have different language versions for each country.
However, it's not always the case - alot of them are using just English.
That (and the brandy results) got me to compare results from Google English with some others - Google Italian, Google German, and some other central and east European Google language versions.
I noticed that same 2 pages with solely English content ranks differently in different Google language version.
Does anyone have a clue about mechanism involved making them act so strange?
Maybe inbound links from sites in praticular language?
I also noticed languages/semantics thread - but it's different on two non-english G. variants.
